3D model description

Running snail wheels is based on snail and wheels. When the wheels rotate, they force the snail to move very funny. The snail is designed for flexible movement when the wheel rotates. With many different models of wheels, you can customize to transform the snail.

The snail is a articulated model, so when they're stand, you can pose them as a shelf display.

STL files do not need to be supported, they have been tested in 1:1 (1X) and 1.5:1 (1.5X) sizes and are perfect.

For a complete "Snail wheels", you need to print
- 01 snail
- 02 wheels
- 02 locks
- 02 cam
- 02 ring
- 02 covers (choose one of 4 cover models)
- 01 axis

You should use glue to attach axis to cam and cam to lock.

Please read the manual PDF file to assemble

On the snail there is a hole to thread the string and then pull it to move. I made the hole quite small for aesthetics. With a wire larger than the hole, you can use a small steel wire to make a piercing.
